Our garden seems to have suddenly attracted quite a few dragonflies over the last day or so. Spent a fairly pointless hour or so this evening trying to catch one in flight as it chased round the garden over and over again (none of those shots came out particularly well). However just as I gave up and started taking some pics of butterflies, this little one landed on one of the bushes, very small compared to the other ones that were flying around but really obligingly sat there for quite some time while I took a couple of hundred shots with various lenses
First time I've ever got up close to a dragonfly let alone been able to take pics of one so quite pleased at that at least.
Crit very welcome and out of morbid curiosity can someone ID it for me please.
